Field of Growth Lacrosse Clinic: July 24 at West Islip High

North Carolina defenseman Ryan Flanagan is organizing a lacrosse clinic to benefit the Fields of Growth program. It will be held Saturday, July 24 at West Islip High School on Long Island from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. It's open to players from grades 2-9, and all Flanagan asks is for a donation of $50 or greater (click here to donate, and leave "lacrosse clinic" in the comment box). The clinic is open to 120 kids, who must also send their U.S. Lacrosse ID number to Ryan (Ryan.Flanagan24@gmail.com).

For those of you that missed the story, Flanagan, the reigning co-Schmeisser Award winner as the 2010 USILA Defenseman of the Year (with graduated Virginia D-man Ken Clausen), is taking this fall off at North Carolina to go to Uganda to help out with Fields of Growth, the non-profit group founded by current Notre Dame Director of Operations Kevin Dugan to use lacrosse to help make a difference in Uganda.
